Headcanons for how Aura and Nahyuta would interact? 👀👀👀👀👀
listen first of all i have this hc that since Aura is currently in jail she pesters Simon about his love life whenever he visits and he tells her the truth which is "I'm dating a literal royal from a foreign kingdom" and he'll bring in like. gossip magazines where there are paparazzi shots of him and Nahyuta and the whole time Aura just thinks he's pulling the most elaborate prank on her. and then when she actually meets Nahyuta she’s like listen friend. how much is he paying you to do this because i’ll double it if you tell me where he’s getting these magazines printed they’re so realistic

*Smiles looking @baby-angelo *
Hi beautiful! I’ve been wanting to hold you since you were born. 😉✨
Looks like you have had a lot of action since then. Lots of people seem to love you. Sometimes good intentions are a little crazy. @e-w-w-morningstar @kleenexwoman @sliceocheese
I always wondered what @angelo-rib-shack looked like as a baby. I mean @angelo-chuck-wagon is my son and I raised him but that’s been a long time ago.
*Wipes hand across the sky to remove the clouds*
Look at all those stars. They sparkle so pretty. Just for you. ✨
I know that some want you to go back in time. Some want you to stay here.
Your dad @the-metatron wants to take you back to 1978 because he’s afraid all this time travel shit oops sorry, stuff, scares him that he may lose his Angelo. Scary stuff when you really love someone, the thought of losing them.
Since Zeus is your dad along with Met I’m pretty sure you are immortal. I’m really new at this stuff, so I may be wrong. Since Angelo(s) are, I think you are too.
*Shifts baby’s position to be sure he’s comfortable *
Don’t write off the humans. I was human for a long, long time. Your daddy Met, made me immortal because I asked, and @god-in-the-basement made me a God and gave me a cosmos when I joined her in Union.
I know lots of Immortals won’t have much to do with humans, but darling child, they are truly amazing. I know, they are so clever but so stupid sometimes. It’s because they can’t decide whether to listen to their heart or their brain. You will always hear me say, the heart wants what the heart wants. Doesn’t mean it’s always right.
Also, don’t let everyone tell you that all demons are bad and all angels are good. That’s bullshit damnit crap too. Gabriel, who was an Archangel was awful. Aziraphale who is an Angel is wonderful, and his Demon Crowley loves him dearly. (Gabriel is now with Beelzebub and much nicer now)
Nanny Ashtoreth @dream-of-pain is a demon, but she isn’t evil. She tempts like all demons, but she loved (yes Ashtoreth loved) Aunt Sophie (Nanny’s true God) enough to fall willingly with Her.
My darling child, there’s so much you will learn. So much joy you will experience.
*Looks down at you, eyes filing with tears*
You are so beautiful. So perfect. Just like the other 2 Angelo’s. Don’t EVER doubt that. EVER.
I love you so much. ♥️
The best part of this, since I am a God, I can hear your thoughts, your wants. Tell me Baby Angelo…..
Who would you like to rear you? (Pigs are raised, children are reared.)
Who do you want to start this life with?
*snuggles down under the stars with baby angelo*

I have, a genuine question for you. Do you acknowledge the racism in the original AYTD or at least know about it? Like how MsKingBean uses slurs and racist stereotypes?
hey, so, i'm a bit apprehensive about answering this because...it doesn't feel like a very geniune question to me, if i'm being honest. "do you acknowledge x thing" is a question that is inherently set up so that i'm meant to answer "yes, i acknowledge that x thing is true," because the alternative is saying "no, i don't acknowledge that x thing is true," which is already framing this interaction as if to disagree with you would be a kind of failure on my part to do some due diligence of engaging critically with a text. and the fact that you say mskingbean89 used slurs in atyd shows me that you haven't even engaged with the text, because that simply...isn't true.
if what you're referring to when you say "slurs" is the anti-romani stereotypes--this is coming from an extra chapter in the bootleg tapes focusing on greyback, where there is a slur used to describe his living situation + he + his family were portrayed as nomadic irish people in a way that was insensitive. people who read that chapter and then went back to the canon story with that characterization in mind rightfully pointed out that it was fucked-up. mskingbean89 addressed those criticisms by adding this note to the beginning of that bootleg chapter:
personally, i think this was a good way to take accountability + acknowledge the mistakes she made with that portrayal. she was a human being who made an ignorant mistake, which then just happened to get absolutely blasted to millions of people--she did not have sensitivity readers or editors looking over her fanfiction, because she did not write it expecting it to reach the level of popularity that it has. to be honest, i am not really sure how she could have better acknowledged her mistake, aside from just....not having made it in the first place. she explains her intentions without acting as though that intent cancels out harm, owns up to the fact that the stereotyping was harmful regardless of intention, and provides resources to learn while also committing to be more mindful + educate herself moving forward. honestly, that's exactly the response i would hope to see from someone who makes a mistake like this one.
i agree with you that people reading atyd should acknowledge + understand the racism regarding romani stereotypes stemming from that bootleg chapter, which is why i think it's great that there is a note literally built into the beginning of that chapter acknowledging it! but i feel as though there's been this like...game of telephone happening online when it comes to atyd, where there are now people who have never even read the story talking about things that quite literally do not appear in the base text itself. i've also seen people acting as though mkb herself did not address these issues when they were raised to her, which is just...patently false.
and so what i'm wondering here is what you're looking for from me when you ask a question like "do you acknowledge the racism in atyd." anyone who actually reads the texts has to acknowledge the racism in that bootleg chapter, because mkb puts that acknowledgment front and center at the beginning. and also like...in the part of the fandom i'm in, in the conversations i've listened to or taken part of regarding atyd, people have acknowledged the issues with that bootleg chapter and the ways it reflects back on the main story. so what do you mean by "acknowledge" when so many people, including mkb herself, have already... acknowledged it? what action are you calling for, and who are you calling for it from?
because like. if what u actually want to say here is that atyd is Irredeemably Problematic and we should all like....shun it? universally agree that it's Bad? then it's just like. it is up to each individual reading the story to decide whether that specific portrayal of greyback in the bootleg chapters is something that ruins the story completely for them or whether they still think the story as a whole holds worth. personally, i feel like i can acknowledge that there are issues with mkb's portrayal of greyback and i need to be mindful of that when reading the story so as not to internalize harmful stereotypes while still finding atyd to be a masterpiece that really beautifully deals with a lot of nuanced issues regarding class and disability and systems of power. this is just part of thinking critically when you read; many famous and beloved works of fiction contain the biases of their authors or have mistakes or issues in the way they portray things that are a product of ignorance. and i know everyone reading marauders fanfiction should understand this, because if u genuinely think that a character being negatively stereotyped means u should throw the entire work in the trash, then none of u would be touching harry potter fanfiction with a five foot pole in the first place.
so, anon - if you have actually read atyd, and there are issues with racism that you have found that i am unaware of, and not just telephone-game twitter posts of people taking shit out of context that you're accepting as truth without bothering to engage with the work yourself--if you want to have a real conversation about it, i would invite you to come to me as an actual person and not an anonymous ghost in my inbox. my dms are open, but when it comes to talking about serious issues, i tend to find it more genuine if the person coming to me actually cares enough and believes in what they're saying enough to say it as themself. and if you haven't read atyd and are just parroting things you've heard other people say online then i would invite you to actually sit down and read the work and form your own opinions on it before getting back to me. i know that might sound harsh, but honestly i'm just completely fed-up at this point with all the bad-faith takes and misinformation that i've seen people spreading about atyd just because they think it's cool to dislike a popular thing.
